Reason #167 To Lose Weight

If you don’t know this already, New England Cable News (NECN) has an arrangement with the Cape Cod Times. Twice a week they pick a story they want to showcase and whoever the reporter is for that story has to go in front of the camera and talk about it on the air. It is good for the paper, but bad for me. There’s a reason I became a print journalist, and that reason is because I have a face for radio.

So to motivate me even further to lose weight, here’s today’s video of me on the air today. And please notice that they asked me a question about a picture that I couldn’t see because I had the TV off. Talk about scrambling…

Wow, you’re famous and stuff! Congrats on the TV gig, you looked great. I would have been a bumbling idiot. The story was pretty cool too, who just gives away their kidney like that? You looking great on TV does not exclude you from your challenge though so get off your keister and hit the trails. Bring the jogging stroller, that’s what I did this morning. Woo hoo, I actually exercised after saying I would.

Holy moly, folks are just givin’ away organs up there. What a touching story though. And you look fine, just thinking about being on camera would’ve been enough to make me lose my cookies. But you handled it well. You’re right, it is excellent motivation though. 😉

We know you were shooting for languish. But you definitely came out with language. Maybe it was the fleshy deposits near your vocal cords that caused you to misspeak. You heard me. You have fat vocal cords. Fatso.

Ooooh, what’s this now? We have TheBear and now we have MrsBear?? MrsBear, I hope you’re not thinking of doing any hibernating with TheBear because even though we all know he’s really fat, we also know where he ISN’T fat. And in case you’re bad with innuendo, I’m talking about his genitals! Hung like a frightened chipmunk in the dark.

And therein lies the difference between East Coast and West Coast. People out here in CA would have turned that story into a reality tv drama about picking the ‘right one’. 🙂 You did fine. I wouldn’t worry at all. And just think about all the footage of you Will can see when he grows up!
